milhouse Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 "X and Y worked a little give and go" I have no idea what this means, it only started a few years ago, seemed to migrate up from English commentary. Surely "giving" a pass and moving somewhere else is the entire basis of possession in football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Player A "will be disappointed with that". "Back to winning ways" Report begins with bewilderingly obvious observation: "That's according to" ...some utter moron who used to play professionally.

anotherchance Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Slight tangent, but commentators apologising for swearing picked up by the microphones.Presumably because some absolute melt phoned OFCOM once upon a time to complain.Especially when its a game involving a set of supporters who can be heard singing all manner of sectarian ditties.

Dons_1988 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 'They hunted in packs'I think this started off as a genuine saying around the time of barcelonas peak a few years ago but after just about any game won by a team that isn't a comfortable favourite he pundits seem to just say it with no real thought behind it.

williemillersmoustache Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Chris Sutton and his never ending obsession with players who did or did not "gamble" or "ghamm-bolll" as he pronounces it. Utter bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolfie Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Clean sheet. Pleasing. Anything spouted by Liam McLeod. Daryl Currie : "Guys, isn't this exciting and controversial..." Anything at all said by Jonathan Pierce. (I know it's English but it's broadcast up here, sadly.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
